C# .NET - Hit counter - Asked By Dev M on 30-Sep-09 01:45 PM

how to add hit counter each web page?

re - Web Star replied to Dev M on 30-Sep-09 01:58 PM

We will create a Visual C# web application and add a web page in the new project. This web page will hold the core functionality of managing the hit counter in the text file and returning a graphic image to render the counter value.

This web page does not contain any server controls. In the Page_Load event, add the following code.

The above code invokes methods to get the counter value and render the image for the counter value.

Let’s take a look at the code that fetches the counter value.

The above function just reads the value from a text file. If the text file does not exist, the default value of 0 is used. The counter is incremented and the new value is saved in the same text file for the next invocation. The hit counter value is then returned to the calling function.

The DrawCounter function uses GDI+ classes from the .Net Framework to render an image containing the counter value. Let’s take a look at this function.

Now we have a web page that draws a custom gif image containing the hit counter value. Let’s see how to use this functionality in our application web pages.

This code can be copied and pasted in the footer area of any .aspx
file in your website.

The first
thing you'll want to do is create an empty text file, call it
counter.txt and save it to your root directory. The next step is even
easier, copy and paste the code below into your .aspx file and save it.
Be sure to import the system.IO class into your page something like this

is the line that calls the method when someone visits your homepage
for instance. You can put all of the code at the bottom of the page, or
if you are a little more experienced with c# you could place it in a
"code-behind" file or an "include" of class methods to keep the code a
bit more clean.

The simplest way to track visitors is to use either of these services -STATCOUNTER - http://statcounter.com/ orGoogle Analytics - http://www.google.com/analytics/

You will need to insert some Javascript they provide on the web pages that you want to track.

The advantage of this method is that you save on your resources

Hi,

you can use three technologies for this...

1. Application variable

2. Storing counter in Database

3. Storing counter in files

storing counter in database will be the best method.

to store in application variable

Application["Counter"] = 1;

but this will be cleard when you restrat the IIS or your website.
